Eric Taylor learned intricate blues guitar stylings from music legends Lightnin’ Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb and Mississippi Fred McDowell. He developed his own unique guitar picking style that would be imitated by many of his contemporaries from the early Houston days such as Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Robert Earl Keen, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, and Nanci Griffith.

Taylor has headlined the prestigious Newport Folk Festival, played National Public Radio’s “Mountain Stage” and has appeared on both “Late Night With David Letterman” and “Austin City Limits”.  www.bluerubymusic.com

“Eric Taylor is a sage musician, a lyrical genius and a master of the guitar.”

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAWe are proud to announce registration is open for Summer Art Class Week, July 8-12.  This year we’re offering classes in subjects including:  Improv/Acting, an Asian Dragon Mural, Photography, Hoodat Dolls, Felt Fiber Sculpture, and Chain Maille Bracelets. We’ll end the Summer Art Class Week with an art show/exhibit on Friday, July 12, to show off your child’s work. For detailed information, click on the kids/teens classes link at the top of the page.

Registration fees include all materials, refreshments, and the cost of the Friday art show. Please note our registration deadlines are by 12pm the day before the class is scheduled to be held. If a class does not meet the minimum registration number, you will be notified of the cancellation at that time.

After paying the artists and for supplies, the remainder of the registration fee is going towards our mini-grant program ART MATTERS to fund art classes for economically-disadvantaged kids. We get requests regularly from local groups and organizations asking for classes to help their clients, so we decided to do something about it. Not only are you helping your own children by giving them art lessons, but you are also helping others who cannot afford them. Thank you!

We are planning a second set of classes the week of July 29 to include clay sculpture, drawing, painting, and collage, so please check back for updates.

In response to requests, we’re offering private drawing lessons every Monday this summer. The classes are $15 a session. Please contact us to schedule a time for your child to meet with us.
 
 

House Concert: Malcolm Holcombe (North Carolina) with special guest Nic Landon and friends, Friday, June 14

lowressmallmalcolmMalcolm Holcombe  Country Blues~Americana

“Haunted country, acoustic blues and rugged folk all meet [here]…”     —Rolling Stone

Born and raised in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, Malcolm Holcombe is being recognized by the contemporary U.S and European folk/Americana community as a performer of national stature and an uncommonly unique guitarist/vocalist.

If you’ve not seen him in a live setting, this is what you have to do. His presence is spooky and timeless, as one imagines it was like to see Son House or Leadbelly. No emotional stone is left unturned. http://malcolmholcombe.com  

With special guest Nic Landon playing old time guitar rags and minstrel banjo tunes. This young man teaches at McPharlin Music right here in Harmony and is quite a talent. I’m sure you will find him very entertaining providing musical arrangements seldom heard in the contemporary era.
